Show me where its regarded as some of the best AI in any game and I'll agree with you. In the meantime I'll stick with my analysis which I got from being able to snipe each individual enemy in the head while they watch their AI partner fall and still ignore me. The AI in Killzone3 hides behind cover the whole time popping their head up to shoot. They don't try to flank you. They don't move around very much. Halo:Reach has better AI but that is a different discussion.

I am pretty sure the quote he is referring to was said about Killzone 2, not Killzone 3. However Killzone 2 and 3 are said to have very good bot AI. It is said that the bots have 2 seperate AI schemes. Commanders and soldiers who not only do their best to think for themselves, but also react based on the commander's orders.

For example, in Killzone 3 the bots work as a team. They escort speaker holders, in capture and hold or sabotuer defend they cover doorways and hallways and try to use the environment as cover. In assassination they swarm the target together and use their abilities approprietly.

 

However, in the case of Killzone 2, while the enemy AI was, at the time, considering one of the best AI in an FPS your team mate could sometimes be really dumb. However I was OK with that because in the end we find out Rico was in fact really stupid anyways.

 

Personally, that is a big plus for me because I like bots. I think every FPS should have them.
